Pixonic has come up with some ridiculous concoctions, but this thing is by far the worst. For starters, the max stats before being mk2 220000 hp, 48 mph before ability, just under 50000 ability damage with a 7 second recharge and a physical shield over 800000. first things first, a 7 sec recharge is obscene for the kind of damage it does and with the speed burst this thing can chase down an orrochi. It’s immune to energy weapons unless you whole team or a titan focuses on it and it still knocks out close to half hp’s of light most medium sized robot before it dies. In essence it’s a nuclear bomb with a rocket strapped to its back. I’ve seen it take out an entire squad solo when MK2 and 3. It’s ridiculous.
It’s this type of crap ruining the game and a big reason people quit before the end of a match. I’m guilty of this myself. It just seems pointless when one guy just runs around without abandon, taking little to no damage and destroying everyone. I really don’t get it. Why does pixonic continue put out these aBominations? Do they give 2 squirts and see what this game has become? I know the answer is no, but its frustrating because they took a great game and just destroyed it and continue to update after update with nonsensical OP BS.

Yeah it is a touch nut to crack lol I don’t run it anymore….  But don’t worry your problems will soon be over… … as it is replaced by Fafnirs and Revenants as most annoying bots EDIT I must say that if you can get your hands on an Nuclear Amplifier combined with flames, Shell becomes your friend. Have two and focus Shell (and Arthur) specifically to fill it up presto and hurt the Shell plenty in the process |

The shields are not 800000 hp, that is their collective hp, divide by 6 for individual shields. But I agree the ability damage is too much. I’ve seen them do over 100k per explosion thanks to drones and other boosts, which is just insane. I look forward to the nerf without a doubt.

Once in a while I see those big explosions, but as a defense guy I don't build for the "Big-ba-da-Boom!". I build for suppression and DR points. |

panic316: But to address your point, yeah, anything OP makes anybody butt-hurt. There's a clan or two out there I'm getting to the point where I won't 2nd drop a bot for them. Consider just running/doing whatever you want that makes you happy. If you can't find your own brand of joy in this game at your price point (aka F2P or uber-Whale) then by all means take a break or quit. Best of luck.

I have not seen that skin on the centre shell in the hangar pic. Looks like one of those shirts Charlie Sheen used to wear on 2 and a half men LoL. I'd like a skin that makes the bot look like it's wearing a tuxedo or a BBQ apron with a girl in a bikini printed on it.... |

If I see a group of Shells going one way at the start of the game, I just go the other way. Let someone else deal with them while I find a bot I can kill.

Shell is becoming meh since much worse has gone in game, and even worse will be in iOS when the patch drops.
In 6 months, Shell will be a $2.99 deal of the day…..

They’ll top it with something even more overpowered and ridiculous. Or nerf it to the ground once they’ve collected money for them.

I used to hate Shells with a passion and pretty much gave up on any idea of any chance of having a decent battle as soon as I saw several of them come dashing across the map straight out the gate. It wasn`t even worth the effort of hitting the button to teleport behind them with Sonic Scorpion. Now with Cryos and Nuc Amp I actively seek them out and, of course, now that I actually have one they`re no where near as un killable as they used to be. All the maxed Fafnirs of top clans have now, without a doubt, taken over the mantle of most ridiculously OP/un killable/un hittable/un damageable/too fast/too much shield/too much fire power/might as well not bother/etc/etc/etc.

Still, what pix has in mind is for shell to last In the higher leagues, I’m sorry but I know that people in expert through champion can output serious damage. Shell is a miniature Arthur. And I’ve seen people counter it easily, like fafnir and revenant. It has a serious weakness, take advantage of it. Op is higher league bots. Not the bots individually

Currently, an OP bot is not only the bot, but also the pilot, modules, and drone together. Take away one of those and the bot gets a lot weaker. Honestly it’s a bit hard to just blame a bot at this point since there are so many moving parts in hangar building these days. The bot is easy to blame because it is what we see and what everything else is built around, but under the hood there is a lot going on. |

Also people are probably mad that they have to strategize against it, then again. In higher leagues you are going to face people with better knowledge of bots and strategies. It’s not just point and click simulator anymore |
